Oscar Mayer Bacon Dogs ($2.99 at Giant Eagle)

America’s obsession with bacon hasn’t waned, and lunchmeat-maker Oscar Mayer is looking to
capitalize on it.

The package of the newly released hot dogs says they contain “real bacon.” The problem is that
the bacon seems ground with the other meats, so the dogs contain none of the crispiness that makes
bacon so appealing.

The bacon flavor is minimal as well, although the dogs taste slightly smokier than standard hot
dogs.

Those looking for a true bacon experience would probably be more pleased by just topping their
hot dogs with crisp, crumbled bacon.
